Version 3.0 expands its library to include newer Bosch EDC17, EDC16, and SIMOS ECUs.

Summary ECUSafe 3.0 is a blunt instrument. It lacks the finesse of high-end suite tuners, but for its specific purpose—turning off troublesome emissions hardware—it is highly effective. It is a tool that rewards knowledge and punishes ignorance. It turns a $2,000 repair bill into a $0 software fix, but it places the responsibility entirely on the user.
For the professional mechanic who knows the risks, it is a 9/10 tool. For the weekend warrior, it is a potential disaster waiting to happen. Use with caution.
Rating: 8/10 (Points deducted for outdated interface and compatibility issues with clone cables.) Ecusafe 3
